I had to make more of a mental commitment this year, with spring's 'later arrival'; the longer bout of disagreeable weather grew my belly more than in past years! Judging by the fit of my work jeans, though, I think I've already kicked MOST of it already! But what I've found is: RECOVERY is a little tougher this year. Maybe I should stretch more post-ride....

As far as turning 60 goes, all I can tell you about that is to do what I did when I turned 40 and 50 -- OWN it, flip the bird to the world, roaring your age at the treetops. Silly, maybe; primal, yeah. Successful -- so far! I just hit 54, and could NOT CARE LESS. Age is a number, dude, unless you let it be more.
